The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Ka'dar Hollman (age 24.6 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #244 (range #216-#272, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 37% — real but not disqualifying. The comp set is dangerous: 4 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Taurean Nixon (Bust), Darryl Roberts (Starter), Damontae Kazee (Bust). Ceiling is Darryl Roberts (Starter); floor is Taurean Nixon (Bust). Age 24.6 at draft. Players entering the league past 24 hit fewer career milestones — the developmental window is already compressed before they take an NFL snap. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #244 stands alone — and with bust risk at 37%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Tim Harris (age 23.7 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #230 (range #212-#248, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. The comp set is dangerous: 4 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Adrian Colbert (Bust), Joshua Holsey (Bust), Brian Allen (Bust). Ceiling is Dexter McDonald (Contributor); floor is Prince Charles Iworah (Bust). Drafted #198 by SFO in 2019 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #85 and the model won't take him before #230 — a 145-spot markdown. The discount is earned — missed entire rookie season leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Lonnie Johnson Jr. (age 23.5 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #166 (range #125-#207, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 5 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Brian Allen (Bust), Prince Charles Iworah (Bust), Adrian Colbert (Bust). Ceiling is Fabian Moreau (Bust); floor is Prince Charles Iworah (Bust). 5 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Brian Allen, Prince Charles Iworah, Adrian Colbert (+2 more). The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #82 and the model won't take him before #166 — a 84-spot markdown. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.
